WEBB: UNITED STATES ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF NORTH DAKOTA FROM 1981 TO 1987 LYNN E. CROOKS* I. INTRODUCTION Rodney S. Webb served as the United States Attorney for the District of North Dakota from 1981 until he was appointed by President Reagan to be a United States District Court Judge for the District of North Dakota in 1987. During his term as United States Attorney, the State of North Dakota experienced one of the highest profile murder cases in its history. The reports of the murders and the subsequent trial became one of the most intense news events in modern North Dakota history. Indeed, the intense news coverage became one of the principal issues on appeal and was the subject of a dissent by Chief Judge Lay from the opinion affirming the convictions.

Schade, Ph.D. ii Abstract In my dissertation “Atomic Apocalypse – ‘Nuclear Fiction’ in German Literature and Culture,” I investigate the portrayal of the nuclear age and its most dreaded fantasy, the nuclear apocalypse, in German fictionalizations and cultural writings. My selection contains texts of disparate natures and provenance: about fifty plays, novels, audio plays, treatises, narratives, films from 1946 to 2009. I regard these texts as a genre of their own and attempt a description of the various elements that tie them together. The fascination with the end of the world that high and popular culture have developed after 9/11 partially originated from the tradition of nuclear fiction since 1945. The Cold War has produced strong and lasting apocalyptic images in German culture that reject the traditional biblical apocalypse and that draw up a new worldview. In particular, German nuclear fiction sees the atomic apocalypse as another step towards the technical facilitation of genocide, preceded by the Jewish Holocaust with its gas chambers and ovens.
  • Patterns of Global Terrorism 1999

    Patterns of Global Terrorism 1999

    U.S. Department of State, April 2000 Introduction The US Government continues its commitment to use all tools necessary—including international diplomacy, law enforcement, intelligence collection and sharing, and military force—to counter current terrorist threats and hold terrorists accountable for past actions. Terrorists seek refuge in “swamps” where government control is weak or governments are sympathetic. We seek to drain these swamps. Through international and domestic legislation and strengthened law enforcement, the United States seeks to limit the room in which terrorists can move, plan, raise funds, and operate. Our goal is to eliminate terrorist safehavens, dry up their sources of revenue, break up their cells, disrupt their movements, and criminalize their behavior. We work closely with other countries to increase international political will to limit all aspects of terrorists’ efforts. US counterterrorist policies are tailored to combat what we believe to be the shifting trends in terrorism. One trend is the shift from well-organized, localized groups supported by state sponsors to loosely organized, international networks of terrorists. Such a network supported the failed attempt to smuggle explosives material and detonating devices into Seattle in December. With the decrease of state funding, these loosely networked individuals and groups have turned increasingly to other sources of funding, including private sponsorship, narcotrafficking, crime, and illegal trade. This shift parallels a change from primarily politically motivated terrorism to terrorism that is more religiously or ideologically motivated. Another trend is the shift eastward of the locus of terrorism from the Middle East to South Asia, specifically Afghanistan. As most Middle Eastern governments have strengthened their counterterrorist response, terrorists and their organizations have sought safehaven in areas where they can operate with impunity.

    Officer Safety- Sovereign Citizens- Supplemental Information Domestic Terrorism The Sovereign Citizen Movement 04/13/10- FBI Domestic terrorism—Americans attacking Americans because of U.S.-based extremist ideologies—comes in many forms in our post 9/11 world. To help educate the public, we’ve previously outlined two separate domestic terror threats—eco- terrorists/animal rights extremists and lone offenders. Today, we look at a third threat—the “sovereign Some examples of illegal license plates citizen” extremist movement. Sovereign citizens used by so-called sovereign citizens. are anti-government extremists who believe that even though they physically reside in this country, they are separate or “sovereign” from the United States. As a result, they believe they don’t have to answer to any government authority, including courts, taxing entities, motor vehicle departments, or law enforcement. This causes all kinds of problems—and crimes. For example, many sovereign citizens don’t pay their taxes. They hold illegal courts that issue warrants for judges and police officers. They clog up the court system with frivolous lawsuits and liens against public officials to harass them. And they use fake money orders, personal checks, and the like at government agencies, banks, and businesses. That’s just the beginning. Not every action taken in the name of the sovereign citizen ideology is a crime, but the list of illegal actions committed by these groups, cells, and individuals is extensive (and puts them squarely on our radar). In addition to the above, sovereign citizens: Commit murder and physical assault; Threaten judges, law enforcement professionals, and government personnel; Impersonate police officers and diplomats; Use fake currency, passports, license plates, and driver’s licenses; and Engineer various white-collar scams, including mortgage fraud and so-called “redemption” schemes.

Keith III, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1989 This study has determined that current right wing extremist groups in the U.S. have no greater propensity for damage to the national security than older right wing groups. Although rig h t wing groups are dangerous due to the popularity of conservative causes and the proliferation of modern weaponry, an examination reveals that dedicat­ ion and increased military capability are offset by more efficient law enforcement response and lack of support by the general populace.

For two hundred years now, U.S. Marshals and their deputies have served as the instruments of civil authority used by all three branches of government. Marshals have been involved in most of the major historical episodes in America's past. The history of the marshals is. quite simply, the story of how the American people govern themselves.

Most of these were minor incidents, resulting only in property damage. War-related attacks brought the total number of international terrorist incidents in 1991 to 557, up from 456 in 1990. Fully half of the incidents in 1991 occurred during January and February, while Operation Desert Storm was under way. After the war, however, the number of terrorist incidents dropped sharply and actually fell below 1990 levels. Several events in 1991 revealed the threat and extent of state-sponsored terrorism, particularly as practiced by Iraq, Libya, and Iran. In the months following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Iraq issued repeated exhortations to terrorists to strike at coalition targets worldwide. Terrorists of many stripes embraced Saddam Hussein and publicly vowed to launch attacks in the event of war. During Operation Desert Storm, we recorded 275 terrorist incidents. Most of these attacks, however, were sporadic, uncoordinated, and low-level incidents. Only a small percentage resulted in deaths, significant injuries, or property damage.

    Active Shooter Training SAFETY & SECURITY ST

    Active Shooter Training SAFETY & SECURITY ST. BONAVENTURE UNIVERSITY Active Shooter/ Dangerous Person What is an Active Shooter? The Department of Homeland Security defines an active shooter as “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area”. The situation occurs rapidly and without warning. The shooter’s objective may be a specific target such as an estranged spouse or former boss but generally victims are selected at random. Most incidents end in 4 - 12 minutes. The average law enforcement response is 18 minutes so the arrival of Law Enforcement may have little effect on the outcome. The shooter often commits suicide or is looking for “suicide by cop.” Individuals need to prepare physically and mentally to respond to an active shooter incident. What is an Dangerous Person? . A Dangerous Person is someone who may be making threatening actions or displaying a weapon on campus . A Dangerous Person may possess or use weapons other than a firearm, such as a knife, improvised explosive device or mace .

THE POSSE COMITATUS AND THE OFFICE OF SHERIFF: ARMED CITIZENS SUMMONED TO THE AID OF LAW ENFORCEMENT DAVID B. KOPEL* Posse comitatus is the legal power of sheriffs and other officials to summon armed citizens to aid in keeping the peace. The posse comitatus can be traced back at least as far as the reign of Alfred the Great in ninth- century England. The institution thrives today in the United States; a study of Colorado finds many county sheriffs have active posses. Like the law of the posse comitatus, the law of the office of sheriff has been remarkably stable for over a millennium.
